Claims

1. A vaccine composition comprising an immunogenic amount of a Pasteurella multocida bacterin, said bacterin comprising a cell-bound toxoid, an immunogenic amount of an alkaline-toxoided Pasteurella multocida cell-free toxin, and a carrier suitable for internal administration.

2. The vaccine composition of claim 1, further comprising an immunogenic amount of one or more additional antigens.

3. The vaccine composition of claim 2, wherein said additional antigens are selected from the group consisting of a Bordetella bronchiseptica bacterin, an Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae bacterin, inactivated Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, and Escherichia coli antigens.

4. The vaccine composition of claim 1, wherein said Pasteurella multocida bacterin is prepared from a toxigenic Type D strain.

5. The vaccine composition of claim 4, wherein said toxigenic Type D strain is Pasteurella multocida Type D strain 8.

6. The vaccine composition of claim 1, further comprising one or more adjuvants.

7. The vaccine composition of claim 6, wherein said adjuvants are selected from the group consisting of dispersed oils, mineral oil and lecithin emulsion, Al.sub.2 OH.sub.3, muramyl dipeptide, saponins, and Quil A.

8. The vaccine composition of claim 6, wherein said adjuvants are dispersed oils and Al.sub.2 OH.sub.3.

9. A method of vaccinating an animal against Pasteurella multocida comprising internally administering to said animal the vaccine composition of claim 1.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein said vaccine composition further comprises an immunogeneic amount of one or more additional antigens, said additional antigens selected from the group consisting of a Bordetella bronchiseptica bacterin, an Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae bacterin, inactivated Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, and Escherichia coli antigens.

11. The method of claim 9 wherein said vaccine composition further comprises one or more adjuvants.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein said adjuvants are selected from the group consisting of dispersed oils, mineral oil and lecithin emulsion, Al.sub.2 OH.sub.3, muramyl dipeptide, saponins, and Quil A.

13. The method of claim 11 wherein said adjuvants are dispersed oils and Al.sub.2 OH.sub.3.

14. A method of vaccinating an animal against Pasteurella multocida comprising the sequential steps of internally administering to said animal an immunogenic amount of a Pasteurella multocida bacterin, said bacterin comprising a cell-bound toxoid, and internally administering to said animal an immunogenic amount of an alkaline-toxoided Pasteurella multocida cell-free toxin.
